COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION“the ancients called it ‘food for the gods’“
The Popol Vuh, the sacred book of the Maya, unfolds a complex web
of mystery around a beverage known as xocoatl (ch-co-atle). At
Southern Tier, we’re not surprised that hieroglyphs of the ancient Maya
depict chocolate being poured for rulers and gods. Even through the
many voyages of Columbus, the mystical bean remained nothing more
than a strange currency of the native peoples.
Moving through centuries, the circular journey of cacao has been
realized in our brewing house, encompassing the complexity of the
darkest, bitter-sweet candy together with the original frothy cold
beverage of the ancient Maya to bring to you our Blackwater Series
Choklat Stout. We have combined the finest ingredients to tempt your
senses & renew the power & interrelation of history in every bottle.
2013 vintage - 10% abv

wow chocolate, heavy on the nose and taste. Pours black, tan head, disseapears quickly. heavy cloying sweetness, umami taste of chocolate and coffee. Medium to full body. This was good for something different, not one I would drink several of. If you like chocolate, a must try. The imperial taste and 11%abv hidden behind sweet taste.

Couple years in the cellar and smooth as silk. Huge chocolate and roast, nicely balanced. Aroma of chocolate, oatmeal, metal. incredible mouthfeel as expected. Hops still doing their thing. Very enjoyable. Tasted at 55F.
